AI Article Synopsis
- Agricultural weeds, such as Amaranthus palmeri, adapt quickly to herbicides, leading to resistance issues in soybean production, particularly in Argentina.
- A study identified that glyphosate resistance in a Cordoba population stems mainly from a specific mutation in the EPSPS gene, with alternative herbicides like fomesafen proving effective.
- The research emphasizes the need for diverse herbicidal strategies and interdisciplinary approaches to manage weed resistance sustainably.
Article Abstract
Agricultural weeds can adapt rapidly to human activities as exemplified by the evolution of resistance to herbicides. Despite its multi-faceted nature, herbicide resistance has rarely been researched in a holistic manner. A novel approach combining timely resistance confirmation, investigation of resistance mechanisms, alternative control solutions and population modelling was adopted for the sustainable management of the Amaranthus palmeri weed in soybean production systems in Argentina. Here, we show that resistance to glyphosate in the studied population from Cordoba province was mainly due to a P106S target-site mutation in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene, with minor contributions from EPSPS gene duplication/overexpression. Alternative herbicides, such as fomesafen, effectively controlled the glyphosate-resistant plants. Model simulations revealed the tendency of a solo herbicidal input to primarily select for a single resistance mechanism and suggested that residual herbicides, alongside chemical diversity, were important for the sustainable use of these herbicides. We also discuss the value of an interdisciplinary approach for improved understanding of evolving weeds.

The tumor microenvironment in CRC involves tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which are pivotal in modulating tumor-associated immune responses. The polarization of TAMs towards an M2-like phenotype promotes CRC progression by suppressing the immune system.

Introduction: The emergence of colistin resistance threatens the treatment of infections.
Methods: In this study, in vitro development of colistin resistance was investigated using comparative phenotypic and proteomic analysis of ATCC 9027, its 14-day colistin sub-MIC exposed strain (Col-E1), and 10-day antibiotic-free cultured Col-E1 strain (Col-E2). Antibiotic susceptibility, morphology, virulence factors, and proteomic changes were assessed using disc-diffusion, agar-based, spectrophotometry, SEM, and iTRAQ-LC-MS/MS methods.

Introduction: In the pediatric setting, overprescribing of antibiotics contributes to the rise of multidrug-resistant organisms. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) are recommended to optimize antibiotic use and combat resistance. However, the implementation of ASPs in low- and middle-income countries faces several challenges.

Emphysematous polycystic renal infection (EPRI) has a poor prognosis with conservative management, and early surgical nephrectomy has been recommended. However, percutaneous cyst drainage may be a possible treatment option. We experienced 6 patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting with EPRI.
